CBD OIL BUYING GUIDE AND RESOURCES:

All CBD products come from high-CBD strains of cannabis/hemp. But the final products span a wide spectrum of uses.

CBD products each offer slightly different treatment and experiences. This will help you pick the right type of CBD product you need.

TYPES OF CBD PRODUCTS:

1) CBD OILS (CANNABIDIOL PURE EXTRACTS/CONCENTRATES)

CBD oils are the most common type of CBD products. They often are the most pure product available. Typically, CBD oils are arranged by various levels of quality/purity.

5) CBD VAPE OIL (CANNABIDIOL VAPE JUICE)

CBD vape juice oils are the new kid on the block gaining wild popularity. These high-CBD vape oils work perfect with existing mod tanks and vape pens already being used. Just pick a flavor, and vape on demand.

COMPARE CBD CONTENT, QUALITY, AND VOLUME:

The total amount of CBD in the product is often an indication of its quality of treatment. CBD content is usually listed in milligrams as “mg” and occasionally only as a percentage.

BEST WAYS TO COMPARE CBD OILS AND PRODUCTS:

1) DIRECT MILLIGRAM LEVEL OF CBD CONTENT

The best way to compare CBD content between oils or products is the milligram level of CBD. Most CBD products will have a clearly labeled “mg” of CBD content.

This ranges anywhere from 5mg to 500mg+

Higher the CBD content = more potent effects of treatment.

2) PERCENTAGE OF CBD BY VOLUME

Sometimes, CBD products are labeled by the percentage of CBD content in comparison to total volume. This requires some simple math to determine the total milligram level of CBD content.

1 gram of CBD oil (25% CBD) = 250mg of CBD total

1000mg x .25 = 250mg

(For reference, 1 gram = 1000 mg)

3) TOTAL VOLUME OF BOTTLE OR PRODUCT

Lastly, pay attention to the total size of the product or bottle. The total volume effects potency levels and consistent dosing. Sometime products increase CBD levels without increasing the total size of a bottle.

For example,

1oz tincture bottle with 100mg of CBD

1oz tincture bottle with 300mg of CBD

Both products will appear the exact same side-by-side. However, an equal “dose” of the 300mg bottle is 3x stronger.

Remember to consider total size and volume of your CBD products .
